Streets of Historic Cairo are the main essence to constitute a significant community that is reputable by intimacy and provides a pleasure to walk in urban spaces. The monumental town which remained consistent hundreds of years is now seriously threatened by its rapid socio-cultural change. The degree of enclosure, thickness of walls, wideness of openings in the space boundaries, and the nature of activities are all factors to assure either the static or dynamic state of an urban space. An observation study aims to discover how genius is integration of variations of static and dynamic spaces suits behavioral needs.Keywords: Open space; urban space; static and dynamic spaces; Historic Cairo.eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

This paper attempts to reveal relations among actors at urban public spaces. We examined the relations by exploring activities of the urban society in picnic activity. In studying the relations among actors we use the actor - network theory Latour (2007). We conducted data collection strategy such as drifting from psychogeography Debord (1955, 1992) and bodily experience Pallasmaa (2012). The findings are the relations among actors within picnic activities in urban spaces shows a different kind of relations. The exploration of picnic activities on urban space shows us the relationships among users, events, spaces defines a variety of changes in the function of urban spaces.Keywords: urban space; urban picnic; relations; space ISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.

There is a close relationship between the creation of urban spaces and ergonomics. To make new stimulating and satisfying urban spaces, ergonomics criteria should consider. In this study, two main urban squares from Istanbul examined. Selected urban squares evaluated by site observation according to the classified ergonomics criteria. Strong and weak points of chosen squares discussed and some suggestions proposed. The results demonstrated the fact that urban equipment meets the individual ergonomic criteria are not sufficient in the use of both squares, and they need to be re-planned.Keywords: Ergomomics; urban squares, IstanbuleISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Space Effects

Since the open space quality and quantity becomes decline in many cities of developing countries, the research means to identify the relationship between quality of public open space (POS) and quality of life (QOL) in Medan, Indonesia. The study measured the level of satisfaction of the visitors of POS by using five scale Likert Scale. The analysis shows that people perceived ‘function’ as the most significant factor for POS and ‘health’ as the most important aspect for QOL. Thus, there is a strong correlation between quality of POS and the physical QOL. Keywords: quality of public open space, quality of life, Medan, perception. eISSN 2514-751X © 2018. The Authors.

Modern Building

Retail globalization resulting in the modern building gives the influence to modernize bazaar. Is it appropriate if the government uses the same method when the bazaar cycle consecutively happens in Johar in the 1930s and 1970s where modern retail buildings were ineffectively used? There is no theory that can explain this phenomenon. The modern retail building is like a leaky container. Initially, the concept of retail in the United Kingdom is like a bazaar. The bazaar in Semarang was a tourist destination in 1950 just like a bazaar in other countries now. A next collaboration research needs to conduct with the United Kingdom and other countries that make the bazaar as a tourist asset.

Transition Interface

This study aims to find choices and a significant indicator which changes preferences of the doors of traditional Structures. Within the scope of this study, we investigated how the preference of entries, which is a transition interface between the urban space and structures, is affected by determined variables. As a result of the regression analysis, the results showed that the critical variables that are preferred, invite a degree of mystery by the existing literature. However, unlike the research literature, the result shows that complexity is not adversely predictive or useful in liking in the selected case study. It has been found that the preferred doors and entrance interfaces have natural materials, harmonious colors, vernacular architectural features, and common structural elements such as steps and eaves.Keywords: Doors, Vernacular Structures, KaleicieISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

The paper means to explore how people use and perceive the shop house corridor as the most built environment found in Medan, Indonesia. The research observed the adaptation and or adjustment pattern of people in their built environment through behavioral mapping. The study did an interview with users of the space to get people perception of the built environment quality. The result indicates that people used space mostly for market activities, in particular for the movable street vendor, besides the circulation path function. The users make some adaptation to fit their needs. They “divided” urban space and mark their territory based on the “unwritten agreement” and   tolerance.Keywords: Urban corridor; built environment; environment behavior; Medan.eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

Pandemic scenarios are affecting the psychological stability of the worldwide urban population, consequently impacting, among others, on human behaviour towards the use of urban spaces. This study explores linkages between psychological dynamics and uses of urban spaces in Hong Kong under the COVID-19-due psychological distress. Significant transitions in urban spaces preferences and decision-making processes emerged in favour of outdoor-related environmental factors, the non-coexistence of necessary and social activities in the same area, and the prevalence of behavioural imitators rather than initiators. A significant result revealed the relevance in urban dwellers perceptions’ for activities rather than places.

The characteristics of outdoor environment in urban spaces and morphology distress the quality of life (QoL) of urban dwellers and visitors. The main purpose of this study is to develop an extensive hypothesis on the parametric evaluation related to the adaptation of the urban environment and dweller’s QoL by methodical literature review, field observation and proposal on an alternative design strategy. The parameters include microclimate, urban space and traffic, waste management and other influencing factors are desired to envisage for effective investigation. Factors play a key role on the variation of QoL and instinctively affect the dwellers approach and comportment.    Keywords: Outdoor thermal environment; microclimate; urban space and urban community; human attitude and behaviour. eISSN 2514-751X © 2018.
